牛津?qū)嵱糜⒄Z語法:82 連接性關(guān)系從句
連接性關(guān)系代詞為who,whom,whose,which。逗號的用法跟非限定從句中的用法相同。連接性關(guān)系從句不修飾它們前面的名詞,而是繼續(xù)往下敘述。它們通常位于主要動詞的賓語之后:
I told Peter,who said it wasnt his business.
我告訴了彼得,他說這事與他無關(guān)。
或者位于介詞+名詞之后:
I threw the ball to Tom,who threw it to Ann.
我把球扔給湯姆,他又把球扔給安。
這些關(guān)系代詞通常可以由and/but+he/she等取代:
I threw the ball to Tom and he threw it
I told Peter,but he said
所以,一個處于這個位置上的從句究竟是非限定性從句還是連接性從句有時很難區(qū)分。但學(xué)習(xí)者沒有必要做出這種判斷,因為這兩種形式基本上是相同的。

We went with Peter,whose car broke down before we were halfwaythere.相當(dāng)于:
We went with Peter but his car broke down before we were halfway there.
我們和彼得一起去的,但是還沒走到半路他的車子就拋了錨。

I bought a dozen eggs,six of which broke when I dropped the box.
我買了一打雞蛋,六個在我失手掉了盒子時摔碎了。
